Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. So we both got tired of each other War broke out one evening. Kate came into the roomSoon，I heard her screaming，“Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!” Deafened，I saw my shoes flying at meI jumped to my feet and started yellingShe yelled back louder The room was filled with angerWe could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone callKate answered itFrom her end of the conversation，I could tell right away her grandma was seriously illWhen she hung up，she quickly crawled under her covers，sobbingObviously，that was something she should not go through aloneAll of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heartSlowly，I collected the pencils，took back the books，made my bed，cleaned the socks and swept the floor，even on her sideI got so into my work that I even didnt notice Kate had sat up. She was watching，her tears dried and her expression was such disbeliefThen, she reached out her hands to grasp mineI looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me，“Thanks” Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year. We didnt always agree，but we learned the meaning of living together：giving in, cleaning up and holding on21What made Kate so angry one evening? A. She couldnt find her books B.

Learning to be Roommates D. How to be OrganizedBAmerican government suggests that children and teens should get 60 minutes of physical activity every day. But less than half of children and just 10% of teens meet these suggestions. Whats the deal?Its reported that about 44million US kids participate in organized sports(such as baseball, softball, soccer).But a new study says just one-quarter of kids get the government-remended amount of exercise when they show up for team practices. The study, published online last month in a medical journal, says younger kids and boys do better than teens and girls.The study looked at 200 kids aged 7 to 14 who played on soccer, baseball and softball teams. The kids wore sensors to measure their activity during practices.During each practice, kids averaged 30 minutes of downtime(停工期). “It is not clear how much physical activity is provided by youth sports practices,” say the California-based authors of the study. “Much of the time may be inactive, such as receiving verbal instructions and waiting for turns.”Whats a parent or coachor kidto do? The authors of the study suggest increasing the number of practices, extending the time of practices and changing it up(加快)during practices. For example, the coach could give each player a ball at the same time. Rather than focusing on one players skills, its best to get the whole team moving.But, the study says, the bottom line is that team sports arent enough exercise. For a child to meet the US physical activity suggestions, the kid will have to do more than just join a team. Exercise is also necessary during breaks, during physical education class, after school and even on the way to school.25. According to the text, which of the following statements is TRUE? A. Only 10% of the teens cant meet the suggestions about physical activity. B. About 11 million US kids can get enough amount of exercise in team practices. C. The new study was published on a famous magazine last month. D. Teens do better than girls and younger kids in the new study.26. The underlined word “extending” in Paragraph 5 means . . A. giving support or confidence B. being smaller or fewer C. making something longer or larger D. causing to move or go quickly27. The passage is probably written for . A. physical teachers and parents B. doctors and nurses C. class advisers and researchers D. kids and headmasters28. Whats the best title of the passage? A. Necessary for Kids to Exercise B. Kids for Fun?C. How to Keep Fit D. Not Enough Exercise?CSpeaking two languages can actually help offset(抵消) some effects of aging on the brain, a new study has found.Researchers tested how long it took participants to switch from one cognitive(认知的) task to another, something thats known to take longer for older adults, said lead researcher, Brian Gold, a neuroscientist at the University of Kentucky.Golds team pared task-switching speeds for younger and older adults, knowing they would find slower speeds in the older population because of previous studies. However, they found that older adults who spoke two languages were able to switch mental activities faster than those didnt. The study only looked at life-long bilinguals, defined in study as people who had spoken a second language daily since they were at least 10 years old.Gold and his team asked 30 people, either bilingual or monolingual, to have a series of tests. They found that bilingual people were not only able to switch tasks faster, they had different brain activity than their monolingual peers.Kristina called bilingualism a beautiful natural experiment”, because people grow up speaking two languages, and studies have shown that they get certain cognitive benefits from switching between languages and determining which to respond with based on whats going on around them.Gold said he grew up in Montreal, where he spoke French at school and English at home, prompting relatives to question whether his French language immersion（专心）would somehow hinder his ability to learn English.Until very recently, learning a second language in childhood was thought of as dangerous, he said. Actually, its beneficial.”29. Whats the main idea of the passage?A. Researchers found that bilingual people can slow down the speed or aging on the brain and respond fast. B. Researchers found that bilingual people respond slowly.C. Researchers found that speaking two languages is important.D. Researchers found that bilingual people are great.30. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Older bilinguals cant respond faster in mind.B. Young bilinguals can respond faster in mind than those monolinguals.C. Older adults speaking a second language daily since they were at least 10 years old can respond faster than those who dont.D. Bilingual children respond slower in mind than those monolinguals.31. In Golds opinion, learning a second language in childhood is_. Adangerous to children B. not beneficial to childrenC. dangerous but beneficial to children D. not dangerous but beneficial to childrenDEveryone has got two personalities the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and realYou dont show your secret personality when youre awake because you can control your behavior，but when youre asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you.
